Chautauqua performance, Those That Survived, at Dayton's Odeon Saloon

The Odeon Saloon in Dayton, Nevada is the location for the next area historical Chautauqua performance, “Those That Survived.”

On Wednesday, December 27 at 7 p.m., the Odeon Saloon continues its Odeon Oldies History series with the Chautauqua by local authors and historians David & Gayle Woodruff as they assume the characters of James Reed and his wife Margret. The Reeds were the original organizers of the infamous Donner Party of 1846.

The program relives the heroic efforts of James, who led courageous volunteers through that terrible Sierra winter to rescue his family and many others, and his wife Margret, who with sheer strength and determination kept their children alive. This compelling, true story of the 45 survivors of the forlorn Donner Party and their rescuers will keep you on the edge of your seat, as it comes to life in this riveting, living history performance.

Come early as seating is limited. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and tickets are $10 at the door. For more information visit https://www.facebook.com/odeonsaloon or call David at 760) 920-8061.
